PLANS ON HOLD pending resolution of two duct detectors installed in the attic on the air handlers. I am assuming the attic space is not environmentally controlled because there is a dry sprinkler system installed. Call to Stephanie at CSHQA, left a message.

Alarm Plan Check  2/28/2005 FAIL
1) NAC extender panel #1 calculation indicates the alarm current is greater than the panel capacity (possible hazard is the circuits don't work because the panel is overloaded). I am in the process of working with the designer (CSHQA).

2) My calculation indicates the alarm current is greater than the panel maximum on the FACP (possible hazard is the circuits don't work because the panel is overloaded). I am in the process of working with the designer (CSHQA).

3) The NAC panels have been relocated on floors 2, 3, and 4 to across the hall in a "guest laundry" (2nd floor at this time only, with the 3rd and 4th in the future). The smoke detector required for panel protection has been changed to a heat detector. (To minimize nuisance alarms, because of particles.) Therefore my concerns are the panels are being located in a "public" area (must ensure panel is secured) and the possible harsh environment the panel has been placed into. (humidity, heat and dust).

Items 1 and 2 will require a resubmittal and may impact NAC circuits which have already been installed.

Item 3 could pose a hardware issue in the future.

I spoke with the designer at CSHQA, here are the answers to the issues and what I have requested to be resubmitted.

1) The calculation was not updated prior to submitting the plans with the modficiations.

2) The calculations pushed required modifications to the circuits for the FACP.

3) The owner was requesting these locations, the designer was indicating the heat detector. I'll address it in the written comments.

I have agreed to accept revised riser, plans and calculations for the FACP also revised calcs for the NAC panel. The designer has dropped off the revised items (~2:30) this afternoon, I will verify and hopefully issue the permit tomorrow morning.
Miscellaneous action  2/25/2005 DONE
Approved a request form Kendall Electric to proceed with installation prior to approval of plans and issuance of a permit at their own risk to correct any revisions necessary per the review or inspection.
